The Defenders
With just a calendar month to go until Netflix releases their long built - up and anticipatedTheDefenderscrossover , actress Sigourney Weaver had a probability to hint at more details about her mystifying scoundrel Alexandria , including her complicated and interesting relationship with the super powered tetrad .
For a suitable adversary to go up against the likes of Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , and Iron Fist , Marvel and Netflix needed to vomit someone with the same level of prowess and bullying as the heroes have skills and braveness . Sigourney Weaver ’s rail criminal record as a fable of the science fiction music genre , stemming from her major roles in moving picture likeAlien , Ghostbusters , Galaxy Quest , andAvatar , gives her an aura around her casting that can be matched by few other actors in Hollywood today . Just looking at her filmography , you get the sense that the Defenders are in worry , and that ’s before most of the particular about her character have been bring out .
We love that Alexandria has some kind of ties to the evil ninja system the Hand that have grant Daredevil and Iron Fist some problems in the past tense and that she’sa smart and " in charge"kind of baddie . We also have it away that theseries revives Elodie Yung ’s Elektra , who was killed at the terminal ofDaredevilseason 2 and has been fetch back to life as a dangerous killing machine .

At San Diego Comic - Con on Friday , Weaver was able to vaguely discuss her type ’s motivations and her relationship with The Defenders , establishing a potentially captivating back and forth between the heroes and villain of the series only separated by an idealistic sense of heroism :
Well , I suppose I want to launch the world . But I guess [ Alexandra ] feel very penny-pinching to doing what she require to do . alas , these four young hoi polloi have very idealistic style of looking at thing , include my business . And I think in an alternate universe , she would engage them and make them work for her , but , of course , they ’re lofty , which is a annoyance . And I have to take steps to reduce their wallop , which is why I bring back Elektra .
As is the event with a lot of great villain and hoagie pairings , it appears that Alexandria has a great deal of respect for her adversaries , as Weaver has said that the part may have act with the Defenders in a different human race . It ’ll be exciting to see Weaver play a scoundrel on this exfoliation , as while she ’s shown quite the range in her films , her notoriety as celebrated heroic supporter Ellen Ripley makes any sort of villain office play against type for her .
